Should you disagree with the removal of your Content from the websites, you may contact TravelSecrets here to make your objections. By using any Interactive Areas, you expressly agree only to submit Content of yours that complies with TravelSecrets’s published guidelines, as are in force at the time of submission and made available to you by TravelSecrets.

As a provider of interactive services, the TravelSecrets is not liable for any statements, representations or any other Content provided by its users (including you as to your Content) in the websites or any other forum.

Any use of the Interactive Areas or other aspects of the Services in violation of the foregoing violates the terms of this Agreement and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Interactive Areas and/or the Services more generally.
Use of TravelSecrets Booking Services. The TravelSecrets Companies offer you the ability to search for, select, and book travel reservations with third-party suppliers without leaving the Services. By booking travel reservations via the websites, you will become a Member if you are not one already.
By booking via the websites, you acknowledge that you accept the practices described in our Privacy Policy and this Agreement. In addition, you warrant, either in your individual capacity or as a Business Representative, that you are 18 years of age or older, that you possess the legal authority to enter into this Agreement and use the Services (including the TravelSecrets Companies’ booking facilitation services) in accordance with this Agreement, and that all information you supply is true and accurate. You further agree that you will use the TravelSecrets Companies’ booking facilitation services only to make legitimate reservations for you or others for whom you are legally authorized to act. Any false or fraudulent reservation is prohibited, and any user who attempts such a reservation may have his or her account terminated.
AS A USER OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING TRAVELSECRETS COMPANIES’ BOOKING FACILITATION SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: (1) THE TRAVELSECRETS COMPANIES WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS MADE USING YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT; AND (2) THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT COULD CAUSE YOU TO INCUR LIABILITY TO TRAVELSECRETS, ITS CORPORATE AFFILIATES AND/OR OTHERS.
When you book a reservation facilitated by the TravelSecrets Companies, your payment information will be collected and transmitted to the supplier to complete the transaction, as described in our Privacy Policy. Please note that the supplier, not the TravelSecrets Companies, is responsible for processing your payment and fulfilling your reservation.
The TravelSecrets Companies will not interfere with reservations arbitrarily, but reserve the right to withdraw booking facilitation services because of certain extenuating circumstances, such as when a reservation is no longer available or when we have reasonable cause to suspect that a reservation request may be fraudulent. The TravelSecrets Companies also reserve the right to take steps to verify your identity to process your reservation request.
In the unlikely event that a reservation is available when you place an order but becomes unavailable prior to check-in, your sole remedy will be to contact the supplier to make alternative arrangements or to cancel your reservation.
Third-Party Suppliers. The TravelSecrets Companies are not travel agencies and do not provide or own transportation services, accommodations, restaurants, tours, activities or experiences. Although the TravelSecrets Companies display information about properties owned by third-party suppliers and facilitate reservations with certain suppliers on or through the TravelSecrets Companies’ websites, such actions do not in any way imply, suggest, or constitute the TravelSecrets Companies’ sponsorship or approval of third-party suppliers, or any affiliation between the TravelSecrets Companies and third-party suppliers. Although Members may rate and review particular transportation services, accommodations, restaurants, tours, activities or experiences based on their own experiences, the TravelSecrets Companies do not endorse or recommend the products or services of any third-party suppliers, save that TravelSecrets does issue certain businesses awards that are based on the reviews posted by Members. The TravelSecrets Companies do not endorse any Content posted, submitted or otherwise provided by any user or business, or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and the TravelSecrets Companies expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with such Content. You agree that the TravelSecrets Companies are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of information they obtain from third-party suppliers and display on the Services.
If you book a reservation with a third-party supplier, then in addition to this Agreement, you agree to review and be bound by the supplier’s terms and conditions of purchase and website use, privacy policy, and any other rules or policies related to the supplier’s site or property. Your interactions with third-party suppliers are at your own risk. The TravelSecrets Companies will have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches or negligence of any third-party suppliers or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting from your interactions with third-party suppliers.
The Services may link you to supplier sites or other sites that TravelSecrets does not operate or control. For further information, please refer to the “Links to Third-Party Sites” section below.
International Travel. When you book international travel reservations with third-party suppliers or plan international trips using the Services, you are responsible for ensuring that you meet all foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, including passports and visas, are in order.
For passport and visa requirements, please consult the relevant embassy or consulate for information. Because requirements may change at any time, be sure to check for up-to-date information before booking and departure. The TravelSecrets Companies accept no liability for travelers who are refused entry onto a flight or into any country because of the traveler’s failure to carry the travel documents required by any airline, authority, or country, including countries the traveler may just be passing through en route to his or her destination.
It is also your responsibility to consult your physician for current recommendations on inoculations before you travel internationally, and to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements and follow all medical guidance related to your trip.
Although most travel, including travel to international destinations, is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. TravelSecrets urges travelers to investigate and review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by their own governments and destination country governments prior to booking travel to international destinations. For example, information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations is provided by the United States Government at www.state.gov, www.tsa.gov,www.dot.gov, www.faa.gov, www.cdc.gov, www.treas.gov/ofac and www.customs.gov.
